Paraşuta

Paraşuta nu-i o sculă La-ndemâna orişicui, Nu-i nici leagăn, nici pendulă, Şi nici fată mare nu-i…

Mitchell's short-tailed snake - Parasuta nigriceps

Parasuta nigriceps (Elapidae) is an Australian snake found in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia territories. As the species name suggests, one of the distinctive features of this snake is the black head from nose to neck with the dark coloration extending into a dark vertebral stripe. Although they are elapids, all Parasuta species are harmless, unaggressive snakes.

Variable Black-naped Snake - Parasuta dwyeri

Also commonly known as Eastern Hooded Snake, and Dwyer's snake, Parasuta dwyeri (Elapidae) is a small terrestrial snake (up to 60 cm in length) with geographical range restricted to eastern Australia (New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria).

It is a secretive elapid that forages nocturnally, feeding almost exclusively on skinks and occasionally small snakes. If threatened, individuals flatten their body and form loose coils, thrashing violently if provoked or touched. Although venomous, it is not considered dangerously venomous to humans.
